Leaving Annonay, the 1st stage takes you up the hillside to enjoy superb views of the Cance valley as far as the Col des Baraques, the boundary between the Mediterranean and Atlantic watersheds. Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid is the gateway to the high plateaux. Pedaling along ancient paths, you cross this undulating country, with its beautiful coniferous forests alternating with broom heaths and meadows, to reach Devesset, with its lakes, rivers and wetlands that make it a remarkable natural area.
Special difficulties
Vous alternerez souvent entre petites routes et pistes forestières. Les montées sont souvent marquées et il convient de bien gérer ses efforts. Arrivés au col des Baraques, le plus dur de cette étape tout-terrain sera derrière vous. Vous filerez sur Devesset en vous efforçant de suivre scrupuleusement le balisage au milieu d'un dédale de carrefours et de pistes.
